    A clock does not change no matter how many differently moving observers
    buzz around it. Both its reading and rate are therefore frame
    independent...In other words absolute. Since a clock counts the cycles of
    an oscillator, it follows that the period of any oscillator defines an absolute interval of time.

    A clock does not change no matter how many differently moving observers
    buzz around it.

    Correct.

    And neither does a ruler.

    If ten observers buzz around a 1-metre ruler, the ruler does not
    physically change ten times.

    Congratulations: we agree that changing reference frame does not
    physically modify the object being described.


    Both its reading and rate are therefore frame independent

    The first does not imply the second.

    You have quietly omitted:

    rate WITH RESPECT TO WHAT?

    Along the clock's own worldline it records its proper time tau.

    Of course everybody can agree that between two events on that
    worldline the clock recorded, say,

    Delta tau = 1 second.

    That quantity is invariant.

    But an observer using coordinate time t assigns the rate

    d tau/dt.

    Another inertial observer uses t' and assigns

    d tau/dt'.

    There is absolutely no logical reason why these ratios must be
    equal merely because the physical clock itself hasn't changed.

    In SR,

    d tau/dt = sqrt(1-v^2/c^2).

    Different observers assign different v and different coordinate
    times, while agreeing on the SAME proper time recorded by the
    SAME clock.

    There is no contradiction.


    Here is the Newtonian version of your mistake.

    A car's odometer does not change when different observers buzz
    around it.

    Its reading is perfectly well defined.

    Does it follow that

    dx/dt

    must have the same value in every frame?

    Obviously not.

    The object is unchanged.

    Its coordinate velocity is frame-dependent.


    In other words absolute.

    No.

    You have confused

    invariant proper time

    with

    absolute universal time.

    Those are almost opposite ideas.

    Proper time is attached to a particular worldline.

    Newtonian absolute time would assign the same elapsed time
    independently of the worldline.

    Calling the former "absolute" does not magically turn it into
    the latter.


    Since a clock counts the cycles of an oscillator, it follows that the
    period of any oscillator defines an absolute interval of time.

    No again.

    Suppose the oscillator makes exactly N cycles between two events
    A and B on its worldline.

    Everyone may agree:

    N = 9,192,631,770

    and therefore that this clock accumulated one second of proper
    time.

    But different inertial frames need not assign the same
    coordinate-time interval to A and B.

    That is precisely what Lorentz transformations describe.


    Your argument is therefore:

    1. Changing coordinates doesn't physically alter an oscillator.

    True.

    2. Therefore every frame must assign the same coordinate-time
    interval to its oscillations.

    Doesn't follow.

    You have confused changing the CLOCK with changing the
    COORDINATES used to describe the clock.


    And there is a wonderfully simple test of your "absolute
    oscillator period" idea.

    Take two identical atomic clocks.

    Separate them.

    Make them follow different trajectories.

    Bring them back together.

    Now there is only ONE frame needed for the final comparison.

    If they display different elapsed times, buzzing observers have
    nothing whatsoever to do with it.

    The clocks are sitting next to each other.

    Read them.

    That is why relativistic clock experiments are so devastating
    to the "it's all just what observers see" objection.

    Nobody needs to SEE a moving clock running slowly.

    You let the clocks travel.

    You reunite them.

    You compare the numbers.

    Nature keeps the accounts.

    Correct.

    There are, after all, some things in relativity that are obviousrCothough, unfortunately, very few. This explains the number of dissenters since
    1905.
    The concept of invariant proper time is one of them.
    Take the half-life of a muon, for instance: it is 2.197 -|s.
    This is obviously invariant under a change of reference frame.
    No matter which reference frame I place my muons inrCoeven an accelerating onerCothe muon is always at rest relative to itself; it is space that
    moves around it.
    It simply functions mechanically: every 2.197 -|s, half of its population
    has decayedrCowherever it happens to be.
    What is relative is the duration measured by observers situated
    "elsewhere" than the muonsrCothat is, in different kinematic reference framesrCowho view things with a "different eye."
    This relates to the concept of the internal timekeeping rate of clocks (chronotripe interne).
    It is the very foundation of any relativistic theory.

    Take the half-life of a muon, for instance: it is 2.197 -|s.

    No, Richard.

    Before rebuilding relativity for the benefit of Humanity, there
    is a small problem with the muon.

    2.197 -|s is NOT its half-life.

    It is its mean lifetime tau.

    The decay law is

    N(tau) = N0 exp(-tau/tau_mu)

    with

    tau_mu ~= 2.197 -|s.

    The half-life is therefore

    T_1/2 = tau_mu ln(2)
    ~= 1.523 -|s.

    So this is also wrong:

    every 2.197 -|s, half of its population has decayed

    After one mean lifetime, the surviving fraction is

    exp(-1) ~= 0.368,

    not 0.5.

    About 63.2% have decayed.

    After 1.523 -|s, 50% have decayed.


    That correction aside, something rather amusing has happened.

    Most of the rest of your paragraph is simply standard
    relativity.

    The concept of invariant proper time is one of them.

    Yes.

    the muon is always at rest relative to itself

    More precisely: at every event of its timelike worldline there
    is a momentarily comoving inertial frame.

    Yes.

    What is relative is the duration measured by observers
    situated "elsewhere" than the muons

    Modulo your peculiar wording, yes again.

    For a muon moving inertially relative to the laboratory:

    Delta t = gamma Delta tau.

    The muon's decay is governed by its proper time tau.

    The laboratory assigns a different coordinate-time interval t.

    This is undergraduate SR.


    You then rename part of this

    "chronotropie interne"

    but so far I don't see what new physical statement the new word
    adds.

    And this sentence needs more care:

    even an accelerating onerCothe muon is always at rest relative
    to itself; it is space that moves around it.

    No.

    "The muon is locally at rest in its instantaneous rest frame"
    is standard and precise.

    "Space moves around it" is not an equivalent physical law.

    For an accelerated worldline there is, in general, no single
    global inertial frame in which the muon remains at rest.

    There is a succession of momentarily comoving inertial frames.


    But the particularly funny thing is where we have arrived:

    proper time is invariant;

    a clock measures proper time along its worldline;

    different observers may assign different coordinate times;

    the moving clock is locally at rest in its own
    instantaneous rest frame.

    Richard, congratulations.

    You have just given Ralph a reasonably serviceable introductory
    lesson in Special Relativity.

    Correct "half-life" to "mean lifetime", remove "space moves
    around it", and postpone "chronotropie interne" until it makes a
    prediction different from the standard formalism, and I could
    almost use the paragraph in a classroom.

    Which makes your description of yourself as an
    "hyper-relativist" increasingly entertaining.

    After forty years spent attacking relativity from above, you
    are presently explaining its elementary concept of proper time
    to someone attacking it from below.

    Henry,

    No. Read what I actually wrote.

    I did NOT assume that two clocks following different worldlines
    will show different elapsed times.

    I said:

    Take two identical clocks.
    Separate them.
    Give them different trajectories.
    Reunite them.
    Compare their readings.

    There is no assumption about the result in that procedure.

    They might read:

    Clock A: 100000.000000 s
    Clock B: 100000.000000 s

    or:

    Clock A: 100000.000000 s
    Clock B: 99999.999997 s

    THE CLOCKS DECIDE.

    Your claim of absolute time predicts the former, subject of course
    to ordinary instrumental effects.

    Relativity predicts the latter whenever the two worldlines have
    different proper durations.

    Calling this "circular logic" is rather wonderful.

    The whole purpose of doing the experiment is precisely NOT to
    assume which prediction is correct.

    And notice that I deliberately brought the clocks back together.
    No distant simultaneity.
    No telescope.
    No "buzzing observers".
    No argument about what somebody sees.
    No need even to compare two coordinate systems at the end.

    Two clocks.
    One table.
    Two readings.

    If you want to defend absolute time, give YOUR quantitative
    prediction for such an experiment and compare it with the
    measurements.

    "Einsteinian worshipper" is not a prediction.

    We have discovered that a pendulum is not an ideal clock:
    its period is

    and you changed g.

    That's precisely why experimental relativity is not tested

    Now repeat the experiment with atomic clocks, whose relevant

    And, historically, people did essentially that.

    They disagreed after following different worldlines by the
    amount relativity predicts.

    So yes, by all means try pendulums.

    Then try sundials, hourglasses and water clocks if you like.

    No, Maciej.

    A pendulum is not rejected because it gives the "wrong result".

    It is rejected because, BEFORE doing the experiment, we already know

    T = 2*pi*sqrt(L/g)

    so changing g changes its rate.

    That prediction does not come from Einstein.
    It doesn't even need relativity.

    Put one pendulum in Paris and another on the Moon and their
    different readings tell you mainly that g is different.

    That's called controlling an experiment.

    By your reasoning, if I want to test relativistic clock rates
    with two hourglasses and turn one upside down, I'm forbidden
    to mention gravity because that would be "assuming the result".

    This is becoming wonderfully simple:

    Known systematic effect -> "Einsteinian assumption"
    Control for systematic effect -> "religion"
    Atomic-clock experiment -> "priests"
    NTS-2 result -> "initial mess"

    And when asked what experiment YOU would accept:

    pendulums.

    One of the best logicians Humanity ever had has apparently
    discovered experimental physics, but hasn't reached
    "control variables" yet.

    Maciej,

    You didn't answer the question.

    A pendulum is known IN ADVANCE to have

    T = 2*pi*sqrt(L/g).

    So if I change g, its rate changes for a perfectly mundane
    and quantitatively predictable reason.

    That has nothing to do with whether its result is convenient
    for Einstein.

    Now you propose:

    "two identical pulsar clocks."

    Excellent.

    Please put two identical pulsars on the table.

    Synchronize them.

    Send them along two different trajectories.

    Bring them back together.

    Read them side by side.

    I'll wait.

    A pulsar is a remote astronomical source whose pulses we
    receive and time. It is not a portable clock that can perform
    the reunion experiment I described.

    You have therefore progressed from

    pendulum

    to

    pulsar

    without ever reaching

    atomic clock,

    which is slightly unfortunate because THAT experiment can
    actually be done.


    And your mantra has now completed another full orbit:

    ME:
    Ideal clocks can accumulate different proper times.

    MACIEJ:
    You assert that desynchronizing makes clocks ideal!

    ME:
    No. Those propositions are different.

    MACIEJ:
    Try pendulums!

    ME:
    Pendulum rate depends on g.

    MACIEJ:
    Aha! You reject clocks that don't fit Einstein!
    Try pulsars!

    At this rate the next experimental apparatus will presumably
    be two identical quasars in suitcases.


    There is still one very simple experiment on the table:

    two suitable atomic clocks;
    initially compared;
    different trajectories;
    reunited;
    final local comparison.

    No distant synchronization is needed for the final reading.

    So what does YOUR theory predict for their difference?

    A number, Maciej.

    Not "Shit".
    Not "priests".
    Not "brainwashed fanatic".
    Not another kind of clock.

    A number.

    One of the best logicians Humanity ever had should eventually

    Maciej,

    First, your pendulum question, since you insist I didn't answer it:

    would you reject it if it didn't give wrong result?

    YES.

    For this experiment, absolutely.

    Even if the pendulum happened to give exactly the relativistic
    difference predicted for the two trajectories, I would NOT regard
    that as a clean test of relativistic proper time.

    Why?

    Because its rate has a known dependence on its environment:

    T = 2*pi*sqrt(L/g)

    plus corrections for amplitude, temperature, support motion, etc.

    So if I transport it through changing gravitational and mechanical
    conditions, its final disagreement contains effects that have nothing
    to do with the effect I am trying to isolate.

    If by sheer coincidence those effects produced exactly Einstein's
    predicted number, that would NOT magically make the pendulum an
    ideal clock.

    It would make it a lousy experiment which happened to give the
    "right" answer.

    This is rather important, because it destroys your accusation:

    "You reject clocks when they give the wrong result."

    No.

    I reject an unsuitable clock BEFORE knowing whether its result
    will be "right" or "wrong".

    That's what experimental controls are for.

    If I test gravitational redshift with two thermometers and one
    happens to display +38 microseconds, I don't publish:

    EINSTEIN CONFIRMED BY THERMOMETER.

    Even if I desperately like Einstein.


    Now, your second proposal:

    take 2 identical pulsar clocks.

    Fair correction first.

    I took "pulsar clock" to mean the pulsar used as a clock, whereas
    you meant the terrestrial device deriving a time reference from
    received pulsar pulses.

    My mistake.

    But that doesn't rescue your argument.

    Your own link says that currently only one such clock exists, so

    "take 2 identical pulsar clocks"

    is already a rather ambitious experimental protocol.

    But fine. Build another one.

    A pulsar clock derives its indication from radio pulses emitted
    by distant astronomical objects.

    Move two such receivers along different trajectories and their
    pulse arrival times involve receiver position and motion,
    propagation delays, source directions, timing corrections, etc.

    All of that can in principle be modelled.

    But you have now transformed my deliberately simple experiment

    two local clocks
    -> separate
    -> different trajectories
    -> reunite
    -> compare locally

    into

    remote astronomical transmitters
    + radio propagation
    + moving receivers
    + astronomical timing model.

    Why?

    We already have portable atomic clocks specifically suited to
    precision timing experiments.


    So far your experimental programme has been:

    Atomic clocks?

    No! Try pendulums!

    Pendulum periods depend on g?

    AHA! You reject the wrong result!
    Try pulsar clocks!

    Pulsar clocks?

    Remote astronomical sources and timing models.

    At this rate I still expect the next proposal to involve
    two identical Stonehenges.


    And meanwhile the embarrassingly simple question remains:

    Take two suitable atomic clocks.
    Compare them.
    Separate them.
    Give them different trajectories.
    Reunite them.
    Compare them again.

    Relativity gives a quantitative prediction for the difference.

    What does YOUR alternative predict?

    A number, Maciej.

    Not "Shit".
    Not "priest".
    Not "fanatic".
    Not another clock technology.

    A number.

    And notice something rather delightful:

    I just admitted immediately that I was wrong about what you meant
    by "pulsar clock".

    Apparently being "brainwashed" still leaves me capable of saying:

    I was wrong.

    Perhaps one of the best logicians Humanity ever had could try it
    sometime.

    Purely as an experiment.

    This is magnificent.

    Uncompensated atomic clock is not there.
    BECAUSE IT IS NOT SUITABLE FOR PRECISE TIME MEASUREMENT.

    No.

    The uncompensated NTS-2 cesium clock WAS there.

    And it was precise enough to measure:

    predicted relativistic shift: ~445 x 10^-12
    measured shift: ~442.5 x 10^-12

    THEN the correction was applied.

    You have just confused:

    "a clock accurately measuring its own rate"

    with

    "a clock deliberately adjusted to realize GPS coordinate time".

    Those are not the same thing.

    In fact your argument is wonderful:

    Why do GPS clocks not drift relativistically?

    Because engineers compensate the relativistic drift.

    Why do engineers compensate it?

    Because otherwise they drift.

    What proves relativity?

    The measured drift before compensation.

    What does Maciej call that measurement?

    "initial mess".

    This is no longer an objection to the experiment.

    It's an experimental result disposal system.

    Because the EXPERIMENT was over.

    That's the part you keep deleting.

    NTS-2 was deliberately operated for about 20 days WITHOUT the
    relativistic frequency correction.

    During that period its cesium clock was sufficiently precise to
    MEASURE the effect:

    predicted: ~445 x 10^-12
    measured: ~442.5 x 10^-12

    Then the frequency correction was switched on so that the
    satellite clock would realize the desired GPS time scale.

    Your argument is literally:

    Why did they correct the clock?

    Because the uncorrected rate differed.

    Why did the uncorrected rate differ?

    RELIGION!

    It's like measuring that a ruler is 2 mm too long, recording the
    2 mm, calibrating it, and then Maciej announcing:

    "AHA! Why did you calibrate it?
    BECAUSE IT COULDN'T MEASURE LENGTH!"

    No.

    The fact that you can measure the error accurately is precisely
    what allows you to correct it accurately.

    And in NTS-2 they measured the "mad prophecy" BEFORE applying
    the correction.

    This time "gedanken" had a satellite.

    You just don't like what the satellite said.

    So now we have the complete Maciej chronology:

    Relativity predicts the rate shift BEFORE the experiment.

    NTS-2 flies WITHOUT the correction.

    The clock actually shows the predicted rate shift.

    -> "childish game"
    -> "initial mess"

    Engineers then apply the correction based on that effect.

    -> "serious measurements"

    And the fact that the corrected clock no longer shows
    the uncorrected drift is supposed to DISPROVE the
    prediction which told them how much to correct.

    Beautiful.

    This wasn't:

    observe mysterious drift
    -> invent explanation afterwards.

    It was:

    RELATIVITY:
    predicts ~445 x 10^-12

    NTS-2:
    measures ~442.5 x 10^-12

    ENGINEERS:
    switch on the correction

    MACIEJ:
    the first part was a childish game.

    That's a rather unusual application of the scientific method:

    prediction agrees with measurement
    -> measurement doesn't count

    predicted correction is applied
    -> corrected system counts

    corrected system no longer exhibits the uncorrected drift
    -> prediction was nonsense

    NTS-2 didn't merely measure the effect, Maciej.

    It measured an effect that relativity had PREDICTED in advance,
    to about one percent.

    This time "gedanken" had a satellite,
    a cesium clock,

    let's make this even easier.

    Forget NTS-2 for a moment.

    There is an experiment running RIGHT NOW.

    ACES -- Atomic Clock Ensemble in Space -- is installed on the ISS.

    It carries:

    PHARAO, a cold-caesium atomic clock

    and

    SHM, a space hydrogen maser.

    Its explicit scientific objectives include comparing the space
    clocks with atomic clocks on Earth and testing Einstein's
    gravitational time-dilation/redshift prediction.

    The clocks are in operation.
    The experiment is current.
    The science mission is collecting data.

    So this gives us a wonderful opportunity.

    The final scientific result is not something you and I can
    retroactively choose.

    Let's record your prediction NOW.

    When the ACES gravitational-redshift result is published,
    what do you expect it to show?

    A) Agreement with Einstein's predicted gravitational
    clock-rate effect, within the experimental uncertainty.

    B) No such relativistic clock-rate effect.

    C) Something else -- in which case please give the
    quantitative prediction.

    No "priests".
    No "initial mess".
    No "childish game".
    No declaring the clocks unsuitable AFTER seeing the result.

    Make your prediction now, while Nature's envelope is still
    sealed.

    Mine is easy:

    ACES will find the gravitational clock-rate effect
    consistent with the relativistic prediction within its
    stated experimental uncertainty.

    What's yours?

    This should be fun.

    And when the paper appears, neither of us gets to change
    our answer.

    Nature gets a vote.

    This time we're asking Maciej to cast his BEFORE the counting.

    Einstein.

    Here is an experiment actually running while we are having
    this conversation.

    So predict its result.

    NOW.

    Because after publication I don't want to hear that:

    the clocks were unsuitable,
    the experiment was a childish game,
    there was an initial mess,
    the scientists were priests,
    or serious measurements only began after compensation.

    The envelope is still sealed, Maciej.

    Put your prediction on the table before we open it.

    Mine is:

    ACES will measure the gravitational clock-rate effect
    consistent with relativity within its stated uncertainty.

    Yours is...?

    Great, but if your "perfect clocks-desynchronizing

    Maciej,

    Excellent.

    So we have finally reached the self-sealing part.

    BEFORE ACES publishes its result, you already tell us:

    if it confirms relativity,
    the measurements are erroneous.

    And why are they erroneous?

    because they confirm the premise you reject.

    That's not a prediction.
    That's an experimental result disposal system.

    So, once again:

    ACES is running NOW.
    The result is not yet on the table.

    Relativity makes a quantitative prediction.

    What do YOU predict ACES will actually MEASURE?

    Not what you will call the measurement afterwards.

    What numerical/physical result do you expect the instruments
    to produce?

    Because this is the perfect opportunity to distinguish:

    a theory that risks a prediction

    from

    "whatever the experiment says, physics is a fraud."

    The envelope is still sealed.

    Your prediction, Maciej?

    Or shall we record your prediction as:

    "perfect clocks are desynchronizing clocks"

    is NOT my assertion.

    It is YOUR assertion about what relativity says.

    I have repeatedly explained the actual statement:

    ideal clocks measure proper time along their worldlines;

    and two ideal clocks following different worldlines can
    accumulate different proper times.

    DESYNCHRONIZATION is not what makes a clock ideal.

    That's your formulation, not mine.

    Please stop putting your sentence in my mouth and then
    refuting it.

    And there is another interesting problem.

    You keep invoking:

    "sane people"
    "serious measurement equipment"
    "real engineers"

    Yet, as far as I know, you have produced exactly ZERO
    GPS engineers, atomic-clock specialists or metrologists
    supporting your claim that relativistic clock corrections
    are based on this alleged

    "perfect clocks = desynchronizing clocks"

    principle.

    Instead we have actual engineers and metrologists designing
    GPS, Galileo, atomic time scales and ACES using precisely
    the relativistic corrections you call "mad".

    Maciej,

    Well, you say "if it doesn't it is erroneous" - after.

    No.

    In fact I explicitly told you the OPPOSITE.

    Remember the pendulum?

    I said I would reject it as a clean test EVEN IF it happened
    to give Einstein's predicted result, because its rate has
    known environmental dependencies.

    The criterion comes BEFORE the result.

    That's precisely the difference.

    And with ACES we can do even better, because the result is
    still in the future.

    Relativity has already put a quantitative prediction on the
    table.

    I have already put mine on the table:

    ACES will measure a gravitational clock-rate effect
    consistent with that prediction within its stated
    experimental uncertainty.

    If it doesn't, and the discrepancy survives the stated
    systematic-error analysis, THAT WOULD BE EVIDENCE AGAINST
    THE RELATIVISTIC PREDICTION.

    There. Written BEFORE the result.

    Now you:

    whether they are or not - depends on an assertion.

    Which assertion?

    Please write it explicitly.

    And please don't answer:

    "perfect clocks are desynchronizing clocks"

    because, for the fourth time, THAT IS YOUR ASSERTION,
    not mine and not the definition of an ideal clock in
    relativity.

    More importantly, tell us what empirical criterion would
    make you accept the ACES measurement as valid.

    BEFORE you know the result.

    Then we have something genuinely scientific:

    Einstein's prediction: written down beforehand.
    My acceptance criterion: written down beforehand.
    Maciej's prediction: ?
    Maciej's acceptance criterion: ?

    Fill in the two blanks.

    Otherwise your position remains:

    "whether the experiment is valid depends on whether
    I accept the assertion behind it."

    And THAT is exactly the self-sealing mechanism you claim
    physics suffers from.

    Good, Maciej.

    THAT is a quotation.

    And yes, I said it.

    Now read your own question carefully:

    "aren't those ideal clocks of yours
    desynchronizing clocks?"

    YES.

    Two ideal clocks following different worldlines can end up
    showing different elapsed proper times.

    I have never denied that.

    But you have transformed that statement into:

    "perfect clocks are desynchronizing clocks"

    meaning that DESYNCHRONIZATION is what makes them perfect.

    That does NOT follow.

    Compare:

    "Aren't those accurate thermometers showing
    different temperatures?"

    YES.

    does not mean:

    "A thermometer is accurate because it shows
    a different temperature."

    Or:

    "Aren't those perfect odometers showing
    different mileages?"

    YES.

    does not mean:

    "Different mileage is what makes an odometer perfect."

    The logical distinction is elementary:

    ideal clocks CAN desynchronize

    does not mean

    clocks are ideal BECAUSE they desynchronize.

    So I withdraw nothing from the quoted YES.

    It was correct then and it is correct now.

    What I reject is YOUR additional implication.

    And now that this magnificent semantic adventure is over:

    what do you predict ACES will actually measure?

    We still have an empty box where Maciej's prediction
    is supposed to be.

    Maciej,

    I think two courses would help at this point:

    1. elementary logic;
    2. elementary manners.

    Let's start with logic.

    You asked:

    "Aren't those ideal clocks desynchronizing clocks?"

    I answered:

    YES.

    Therefore:

    those ideal clocks are desynchronizing.

    Correct.

    You then repeatedly turn this into:

    "perfect clocks are desynchronizing clocks"

    as though "desynchronizing" were a defining property of
    a perfect clock.

    That inference is invalid.

    Those sheep are wet.
    YES.

    does not imply:

    Sheep are wet animals.

    Those doctors are sleeping.
    YES.

    does not imply:

    Doctors are sleeping people.

    Those ideal clocks have desynchronized.
    YES.

    does not imply:

    Desynchronization is what defines an ideal clock.

    This is the difference between saying that members of a
    class have a property in a particular situation and saying
    that the property DEFINES the class.

    No amount of "poor piece of shit" repairs that inference.

    Which brings us to course number 2.

    If you cannot distinguish

    "these ideal clocks desynchronize"

    from

    "a clock is ideal because it desynchronizes",

    calling your interlocutor a "piece of shit" is not a
    substitute for the missing logic lesson.

    It merely demonstrates the need for the manners lesson too.

    And after both lessons, perhaps we can return to the question
    you are still avoiding:

    What do you predict ACES will actually measure?

    And if ACES measures the relativistic effect?

    What observable property makes a clock "perfect" according
    to you, independently of whether it gives t'=t?

    Give us the criterion NOW.

    Otherwise:

    t'=t -> perfect clock
    t'!=t -> imperfect clock

    isn't a prediction.

    It's a definition carefully designed never to lose.

    Two posts ago:

    Now:

    "perfect" doesn't exist
    and cannot have an observable property.

    So your experimental prediction is:

    IF an instrument that doesn't exist
    and cannot be identified experimentally is used,
    THEN t'=t.

    That's an emergency teleportation device.

    No.

    It does not have an "emergency exit" invented so that
    every inconvenient experimental result can be discarded.

    Especially when your emergency exit is:

    "the required instrument doesn't exist."

    Meanwhile ACES uses REAL clocks,
    makes REAL measurements,
    and relativity predicts what those measurements will be.

    You predict what would happen with a nonexistent clock.

    One of these propositions can be tested by Nature.

    The other has an emergency exit.

    Nobody cares about rate

    Maciej, we're discussing CLOCKS.

    A clock rate is quite literally what ACES compares.



    So before Nature opens the envelope:

    What observable property makes a clock "perfect" according
    to you, independently of whether it gives t'=t?


    What are you fucking about, poor halfbrain? "perfect"
    doesn't exist. How would it get an "observable property"?

    Wonderful.

    Two posts ago:

    -a-a t'=t IF they used perfect clocks.

    Now:

    -a-a "perfect" doesn't exist
    -a-a and cannot have an observable property.

    And what are observable properties of your

    Maciej,

    You keep asking for the "observable properties" of a
    PERFECT clock immediately after explaining yourself that
    "perfect" doesn't exist.

    Congratulations. You have now refuted your own question.

    An ideal clock is a MODEL.

    Real clocks have observable properties:
    frequency, stability, accuracy, environmental sensitivities,
    systematic shifts, uncertainty, etc.

    And real atomic clocks can be compared.

    Now your turn.

    You claim GPS, Galileo and the rest are:

    "really measuring t'=t"

    Excellent.

    SHOW THE MEASUREMENT.

    Which clocks?
    Which experiment?
    Which observable?
    Which published result gives t'=t?

    One will do.

    Because so far your entire experimental evidence for t'=t is:

    Maciej says so on Usenet.

    Rather poor measurement equipment for someone so concerned
    about serious measurements.

    Maciej,

    Excellent.

    You have finally asked the right question.

    If the ground station says

    GPS time = 22:00:00

    what does the satellite broadcast?

    Approximately

    GPS time = 22:00:00

    OF COURSE.

    That is what GPS is ENGINEERED to do.

    The satellite clock is deliberately frequency-adjusted so that
    its output realizes GPS coordinate time.

    NIST:

    "The constellation clocks are set to beat at the average
    coordinate rate corresponding to clocks at rest on the
    surface of the rotating Earth by applying a 'factory
    frequency offset' to the clocks before launch."

    So your argument is now:

    1. Relativity predicts different proper clock rates.
    2. Engineers calculate the relativistic correction.
    3. They adjust the satellite clocks accordingly.
    4. The corrected clocks keep GPS time.
    5. Maciej observes that they keep GPS time.
    6. Therefore relativity is false.

    Wonderful.

    It's like adjusting two watches until they display the same time
    and then announcing that the adjustment proves they never had
    different rates.

    And we have already discussed the particularly inconvenient
    historical control experiment:

    NTS-2 flew the atomic clock WITHOUT the relativistic frequency
    correction for about twenty days.

    Its measured rate shift agreed with the relativistic prediction.

    THEN the correction was switched on.

    You called those twenty days "initial mess" and "childish game".

    So no, Maciej.

    Showing me the CORRECTED GPS clock reading is not a measurement
    of your alleged t'=t.

    Show me your measurement that the UNCORRECTED satellite and
    ground clocks have equal rates.

    NTS-2 tried exactly that.

    Unfortunately for you, Nature gave the wrong answer.

    But let's stay with GPS, which you chose.

    You say GPS was engineered to

    "fuck your mad delusions"

    and measure t'=t.

    Unfortunately, the engineers left documentation.

    NIST explains that GPS satellite clock rates are ADJUSTED
    to match the coordinate rate of clocks on the geoid.

    Why adjust them, Maciej?

    If the physical clocks naturally measured your t'=t,
    what exactly are the engineers compensating for?

    Your argument has now become:

    The clocks are corrected so that they agree.

    They agree.

    Therefore the correction proves there was
    nothing to correct.

    Maciej,

    Forget "perfect clocks".

    YOU claim GPS measures

    t' = t

    with real clocks.

    Fine.

    Now remove the engineering corrections.

    What do the REAL satellite and ground atomic clocks do?

    Do they still accumulate time at the same rate?

    YES or NO?

    Because if your answer is YES, the relativistic frequency
    correction is pointless.

    If your answer is NO, then your claim that GPS experimentally
    measures the natural equality

    t' = t

    is false.

    The fact that engineers can CORRECT two clocks so that they
    realize the same coordinate time does not demonstrate that
    their uncorrected rates were equal.

    It demonstrates that the correction works.

    And NTS-2 already performed the inconvenient experiment:

    correction OFF -> predicted rate difference measured
    correction ON -> clocks made suitable for GPS operation

    You called the first part "childish" and the second part
    "serious measurement".

    So here is the question again, with no "perfect" anything:

    UNCORRECTED REAL ATOMIC CLOCKS:

    equal rates, YES or NO?

    No sheep.
    No sharks.
    No priests.
    No perfect clocks.

    Just answer the question.

    Maciej,

    NO ONE said that removing the correction makes the clock
    "perfect".

    I asked what the REAL clock MEASURES when the correction
    is removed.

    And your answer is:

    No.

    Excellent.

    You refuse to look at the measurement and immediately return
    to your imaginary "perfect clock".

    But we don't need one.

    Take a REAL atomic clock.
    Measure its rate with the correction OFF.
    Compare it with the ground reference.

    That's an experiment.

    And historically, NTS-2 did essentially exactly that.

    So your position has become rather beautiful:

    correction OFF:
    "No! The clock isn't perfect!"

    correction ON:
    "Look! t'=t! Relativity is false!"

    You reject the uncorrected measurement because the clock
    doesn't give the answer you want, then use the corrected
    measurement because it does.

    And then YOU complain about "emergency exits".

    Maciej, you've installed the emergency exit in the
    experimental apparatus.

    well in a way he is probably being sensible in removing himself from two theories that still cannot answer many basic questions. Your mob, for instance, just restates simple Newtonian phenomena in such ridiculously complicated ways that some people are impressed. For instance, I reckon
    you really believe that Einstein's curved spacetime' explains why forces exist. Physics is still in its infancy. Hachel is French, and that alone

    EXCELLENT.

    You have finally described what happened with NTS-2.

    Procedure 1:

    real cesium clock in orbit
    relativistic synthesizer OFF
    measure its rate against ground clocks

    Result:

    measured: +442.5 x 10^-12
    predicted: +446.5 x 10^-12

    Then they changed the procedure.

    Procedure 2:

    switch the frequency synthesizer ON

    Result:

    the clock rate immediately changes toward the
    coordinate rate required for navigation.

    And YOU point to Procedure 2 and say:

    LOOK! t'=t!

    Maciej, you have just explained why your own argument fails.

    Yes:

    change the procedure -> change the result.

    That is precisely why I keep pointing you to the measurement
    BEFORE the correction was switched on.

    No "perfect clock" is involved.
    No guru decides whether the clock is good.
    No result is being rejected.

    Both results are measurements.

    OFF -> rate difference.

    ON -> compensated rate.

    The change when the synthesizer was switched on is itself
    part of the experimental record.

    So please explain your alternative without screaming about
    "perfect clocks":

    Why did the REAL cesium clock show approximately the
    relativistically predicted rate difference with the
    synthesizer OFF?

    And why did its measured rate change when the correction

    We have now reached the really interesting part.

    You say:

    "Sane people have other [measurements], giving t'=t."

    Excellent.

    SHOW ONE.

    Not a philosophy of measurement.
    Not sharks.
    Not sheep.

    Not what you think GPS engineers believe.

    One actual experiment.

    4. the measured quantity,
    5. the measured result,

    That's not an alternative physical explanation.

    Maciej,

    8th time, then:

    YES.

    The corrected GPS satellite clock is engineered to keep
    approximately the same GPS coordinate time as the ground system.

    Nobody disputes that.

    Now explain how this demonstrates that the correction
    was unnecessary.

    Your argument is:

    ground clock: 12:00:00
    corrected satellite:12:00:00

    THEREFORE t'=t.

    But the satellite clock was deliberately frequency-adjusted
    so that this would happen.

    That's the whole point.

    You keep showing me the OUTPUT AFTER COMPENSATION
    as evidence that there was nothing to compensate.

    I ask:

    What happens WITHOUT the compensation?

    You answer:

    Look at the compensated clock!

    I ask again:

    What was measured by NTS-2 before the correction
    was switched on?

    You answer:

    Look at modern corrected GPS clocks!

    This isn't an experiment demonstrating t'=t.

    It's a feedback loop in the conversation.

    And you still haven't provided your promised measurement
    from "sane people" giving t'=t.

    You have provided a clock engineered to display GPS time.

    Those are not the same proposition.

    Maciej,

    giving t'=t.

    Excellent.

    NAME ONE.

    Not a corrected GPS clock.

    We have already agreed what that measures:

    corrected ground clock -> GPS coordinate time
    corrected satellite clock -> GPS coordinate time

    Of course they give approximately:

    t' = t.

    THEY WERE ENGINEERED TO DO THAT.

    NIST says explicitly:

    "GPS satellite clocks are given this offset before
    launch so that in orbit, they will beat at the
    correct coordinate rate."

    That's not Python.
    That's the people who actually do the metrology.


    Your claim is different.

    You claim that "sane people have DIFFERENT MEASUREMENTS"
    showing that the natural physical result is:

    t' = t.

    Fine.

    Give ONE.

    1. Which clocks?

    2. Where / on what trajectories?

    3. What correction was applied?

    4. What quantity was compared?

    5. What was the measured result?

    6. What was the uncertainty?

    7. Where was it published?

    ONE experiment will do.


    Because pointing for the ninth time at a clock which has
    been deliberately adjusted to realize the same coordinate
    time is not a ninth experiment.

    It is the same category error nine times.


    It's like this:

    BEFORE adjustment:
    clock has rate offset X

    ENGINEERS:
    apply correction -X

    AFTER adjustment:
    clocks agree

    MACIEJ:
    AHA! X NEVER EXISTED!


    By that argument, thermostats prove houses never get cold.


    And notice how your claim has quietly changed.

    A few posts ago:

    "Sane people have OTHER measurements giving t'=t."

    Now your evidence is again:

    corrected GPS clocks give t'=t.

    No, Maciej.

    Those are precisely the measurements we were already
    discussing.

    Where are the OTHER ones?


    Reference.
    Apparatus.
    Result.
    Uncertainty.

    You said they exist.

    Show one.

    Because so far the "idiots" have GPS, atomic clocks,
    published measurements and correction equations.

    Forget you silly worldlines.

    Oui, |oa, c'est vrai.

    He probably realizes it is not the best way to describe the universe

    The problem is that the best way to describe the Uniberse is not known.
    Every one of the known ways fails to get right something that anotner
    one does get right.

    Aha! You have finally made a reasonably valid point. We are a long way
    from explaining everything...but Newton's approach is the most successful.

    Excellent.

    NAME ONE.

    Not a corrected GPS clock.

    Why not?
    A calibrated clock is a wrong clock?
    Or just - any clock not fitting The Shit
    of your idiot guru is a wrong clock?
